Private Limited Company

The most common form of business organisation in Estonia is a Private Limited Company (OÜ).

A Private Limited Company must have a management board, which is a representative and directive body of the company. It may have one or more members, who may or may not be its shareholders.

All Estonian companies whose management board members are located abroad must appoint a contact person in Estonia. A company must also have a legal address in Estonia.

Step 5. Power of Attorney

To be able to register a company on your behalf, we will need an apostilled Power of Attorney from you. If you are from Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia or Ukraine – the Power of Attorney can be notarised, with no apostille necessary. If the company has multiple shareholders and board members, a Power of Attorney is needed from each.

If necessary, we can provide you with a standard Power of Attorney template.

As soon as we receive the documents in our office in Estonia, we can proceed with company registration. First, the Power of Attorney received from you will be sent for a legal translation into Estonian.

Step 6. Company registration

We will then visit a notary and carry out all necessary filings at the Company Registry for you. You will receive a confirmation and your company will appear in the Companies Register within 2-3 days.
